Not Man's Gospel - Galatians 1:11-24
preached by: Ptr. Enteng Ramoneda
How do we feel when someone questions the Gospel? Paul was undeterred in his confidence in the Gospel of justification by faith alone in Christ when it was challenged by the so-called Jews, who taught that faith in Christ should come with the works of the law. This confidence of Paul came from his knowledge that he got it not from men, but through a revelation of Jesus Christ (vv. 11-120, which is the only satisfactory explanation of how he turned from an enemy to a preacher of the Gospel (vv. 13-16), and where he got his deep knowledge of the Gospel despite having no man who taught him of it (vv. 16-24). Therefore, if we are certain of what the scripture teaches about the Gospel and how it radically transformed our lives, we should be unshaken in our confidence in the Gospel though many will challenge it.

Allegiance To The Only Gospel - Galatians 1:6-10
Preached by: Ptr. Enteng Ramoneda
How should Christians respond to so-called brothers who are in danger of turning away from the faith? Because Paul knew that he preached the true Gospel to the Galatians (Galatians 1:10), he did not sit it out in apathy when he heard that the Churches in Galatia were beginning to embrace a gospel contrary to what he preached to them. He expressed his disappointment to the Galatians (vv. 6-7) and pronounced curse on anyone who would preach anything contrary to the Gospel (vv. 7-9). For Paul, our understanding of the true Gospel should dictate our response to any deserting or distortion of it.

The Gospel According To God - Galatians 1:1-5
Preached by: Ptr. Enteng Ramoneda
Every attack made against the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ should never be taken lightly. Being an apostle, and the one who planted the Churches in Galatia, Paul sought to establish his apostleship right off the bat (Galatians 1:1-2:14), that the Galatians might acknowledge his authority and hold on to the Gospel that he taught them. Even in his greetings (Galatians 1:1-5), he claimed that his authority is from the Father and made clear that the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ is sufficient to atone for our sins for the purpose of delivering us from the ‘law-ish’ works of the flesh. We, then, should not just accept any teaching but acknowledge the authority of God on matters of the Gospel by turning to His Word.

True Humility In Christ - Philippians 2:5-11
Preached by: Bro. Joseph Moriones
After encouraging the Philippian believers to maintain their unity in the church through humility, Paul presented to them the obedient life and sacrificial death of Christ as both the One who unites the covenant community and the Supreme Example of humility. He urges the believers to set their minds on the humiliation and exaltation of Christ in order for them to pursue humility. Therefore, the way to true humility is by setting our minds on Christ and by following His example.

How Can We Live For God? (Part 3) - Matthew 6:11-13
Preached by: Ptr. Enteng Ramoneda
Continuing on from our last topic (which placed focus on our being made by Him to be His forgiven people) with our three-part sermon series on Matthew 6:11-13 entitled "How Can We Live For God", the emphasis now, finally, is on living for God through His daily protection. In Matthew 6:13, it reads: "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." Indeed, if we are to live for Him in Christ, we must rely fully on His spiritual protection as Chrstians living challenging lives in a fallen world, and be dependent on Him alone.
To live for God is only ever possible through God, and through His spiritual protection in Christ are we delivered daily, and beyond, from the enemy's snare.

How Can We Live For God? (Part 2)- Matthew 6:11-13
Preached by: Ptr. Enteng Ramoneda
Continuing our sermon series on the three petitions of the Lord's Prayer from Matthew 6:11-13 entitled "How Can We Live for God", the first part of which talked about living for God's name, kingdom, and will by living through His daily provision, the preaching of His Word then moves on to the two other means by which we can live for God, which are through His daily pardon and protection.
Indeed, we live for God through God and no one and nothing else. In His care, our daily bread is provided, our debts forgiven, and from evil we are delivered.

Committed To Live And Grow Together (Part 2) - Ephesians 4:1-16
Preached by: Ptr. Enteng Ramoneda
Last time, we covered the first half of our two-part sermon series entitled "Committed to Live and Grow Together" (Ephesians 4:1-6), which focuses on how we should live in unity (UNITED LIFE) because we are one, how we are the body of bodies, the family of families. Indeed, church, our oneness has nothing to do with what we have done, but with what Christ has accomplished for us.
Continuing on with the sermon series, we then centered on how we should be united, as a church, in our pursuit of Christlikeness as He grows us through the proper working of each one. "Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love." (Ephesians 4: 15-16)

Committed To Live And Grow Together (Part 1)
Preached by: Ptr. Enteng Ramoneda
Why should we commit to a local church? Having described the immensity of being a part of the Church, Paul called the Ephesian believers to display the greatness of their calling by living together in unity (Ephesians 4:1-6), and by striving together towards Christlikeness (Ephesians 4:7-16). A believer, then, should not hesitate to formally commit to a local church despite of the sacrifices that living together with accountability entails as a believing community.

Unity In The Gospel - Philippians 2:1-4
Preached by: Bro. Joseph Moriones
In his letter to the Philippian believers, Paul deeply encourages them to maintain their unity in the church. Specifically, he reminds them that their unity is founded on being united in Christ and continually being formed by their fellowship with the Spirit (vv. 1-2). Also, he admonishes them to live in unity in the gospel through humility (v. 3), for the church will only have true unity through living out the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

God's Masterpiece - Ephesians 2:1-10
Preached by: Ptr. Enteng Ramoneda
Whose masterpiece is the Church? In Ephesians 2:1-10, Paul reasoned out that believers were saved by grace so that no one can claim ownership of the Church but God. He made sure that believers will understand that they were as sinful as the rest of humanity (vv. 1-3), and they were saved only when He, in His grace, made them alive together with Christ (vv. 4-9). Paul then explained that the reason why God saved believers by His grace in Christ Jesus is to show that the Church is God’s masterpiece (v. 10). What a privilege indeed to be part of the Church!
